strut tower bar

Post by treckrtj »

I am just wondering if there really is a noticable difference in handling with a strut tower bar. And is there a difference in price? I have seen them priced from 20 to 200. What's the deal, yo? Thanks for any advice.

I bought both front and rear ractive and paid 75. can for both, made a huge difference, man does it ever stick to the road. only thing is it made my ride a little more rough and stiff, front is easy to stick on about five min, rear took about 45 min, had to cut seatbelt ancor and speaker cover. found that my dremmel worked great for this, used the cutting disk and wheel sander to cut out a almost exact hole in the side of the speaker cover, really recomend this mod :D
